Bachelor of Science in Cybercrime Investigation
Effective April 3, 2018, this program is no longer available for future enrollments at the Colorado Springs Campus.
Computer-based crime has become an enormous global problem for business and law enforcement agencies at all levels. As a result, there is a growing need for individuals who combine criminal justice knowledge with computer technology skills to investigate this new and growing area of criminal activity. The Bachelor of Science in Cybercrime Investigation (BSCI) degree program is designed to equip graduates with a base of practical, real-world applications in the field of criminal justice with strong emphasis on foundational studies in the electronic criminal investigation of such crimes as fraud, identity theft, computer terrorism and other computer-related crimes that are committed in both a national and global environment. The investigation of computer-based crimes is not limited to federal, state, and local agencies, but is also increasing in organizations that conduct business in an electronic environment.
This program does not lead to additional licensure or certification. As such, CTU has made no determination regarding prerequisites for licensure or certification in any state or jurisdiction.
